Liked being able to park in front of the room (it was a motel, not hotel). We had a cooler and luggage to haul in. Even though it was right next to the highway, it was very quiet. Bed was comfy and breakfast was good, sausage and eggs with all the other options…cereal, bagels, etc. There was a lot for RV’s and trucks, as well

We enjoyed our stay! The staff was friendly, the property was clean and it was very close to interstate. We felt safe at the property. Our room was very clean and decorated nicely. The bedding and pillows were very cozy. Checkout was very easy. We will definitely make this our new place to stay when we are in town!
